98. The pretentious version of the rich second generation (10) (1/2)
Wei Mingyan followed the village chief all the way to his house. When he saw the old man looking back with an uneasy expression, he smiled and said, "Village Chief, are you worried that something will happen to them?"
"Yes, I see that everyone's mood was not very stable just now..."
The village chief's wrinkled face is full of worry and guilt. He always wants to keep the people in the village safe, but after so many years, he can only watch one generation become poorer little by little.
Having just promised Wei Mingyan to do this favor for him, for the village chief who had never done anything bad in his life, this was extremely painful.
"Don't worry, village chief. Those people are smart. Even if they want to kill each other, they won't do it in broad daylight. Aren't they afraid of going to jail?"
After Wei Mingyan finished speaking, he saw that the village chief still had a worried look on his face, and his smile became gentler, "Just leave them alone. You have been the village chief for so many years, don't you still know what they are like? Even if it is your family who is moving the grave today, They will also force you to move it for money."
"But, these are all people from the same village. We don't do this on purpose to let them interact with each other..."
The wrinkles on the face of the old man in front of him became more wrinkled. Knowing that he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, Wei Mingyan raised his eyebrows and said warmly, "I didn't lie to them. I really want to cover this mountain, and I also want to cover this grave." Even if you don’t help me, I can still buy it if I have the money and connections.”
"Instead of thinking about these people, it is better to think about your son, who is honest and honest outside carrying bricks. You can only swallow this bitter taste when he is cheated because he has no education. Your granddaughter is only ten years old. At such a young age, she should not be together. I can’t bear to eat meat.”
The young man smiled and patted the village chief's wrinkled hand, "My father always said that when looking for a chef apprentice, you should look for an honest person. After completing the apprenticeship, you should stay and work in the hotel for at least a month. It's better to have five or six thousand, and it's better than your son working hard outside and having his debts owed by a sinister boss."
The village chief's hands trembled, "Mr. Wei, are you really willing to introduce my son to work in your hotel? He, he is very stupid, but I guarantee that he will work very diligently for you at home. At that time, he was the most diligent. ”
"Of course, let's not talk about what happened today. Just for bringing up the bodies of Lele's parents, I want to thank you. Besides, didn't you just help me?"
Being able to solve his son's future life, the uneasiness in the village chief's heart also subsided a little. He did not doubt the authenticity of Wei Mingyan's words. After all, this man had just shown him how much money he had in his card.
"Well, if you are still worried, call your son now. I remember that my family just opened a branch in the city you mentioned. I said hello to my dad and asked him to come over and be an apprentice now. ,How about it?"
"Now that I have so many people watching me, I can only ask you to take me in for one night."
The village chief was filled with excitement, five to six thousand yuan!
That's five to six thousand. If his son can earn this much money every month, his granddaughter can buy a new schoolbag and wear new clothes, and she no longer has to be reluctant to buy snacks.
Compared with his favorite relatives, the weight of the villagers in the village who never listened to him and only bullied others became lighter.
His expression gradually relaxed. Yes, according to what the person in front of him said, these choices were made by the villagers themselves.
Moreover, they really went too far this time.
Wei Mingyan had been staying at the village chief's house, watching him make a phone call, and watching him catch chicken, stir-fry vegetables, stew soup, and mess around in the kitchen with a happy face. He knew that his son had succeeded in going to the hotel.
After all, Wei's father was completely obedient to Wei Mingyan. He would be willing to let him raise someone for free, let alone arrange for an honest man to be a trainee chef.
Of course, Wei Mingyan couldn't possibly take advantage of the village chief who had a poor family. Although he tried to evade it in every possible way, he still paid for it and just thought it was to buy the chicken.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Wei Mingyan sat up and looked at the stars on the mountain opposite. His eyebrows softened and he stood up with a gentle smile. He took the chicken soup that he had prepared to ladle out and warmed in the pot and put it in the bowl given by the village chief. , carrying it out the door.
According to his memory during the day, he turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and walked all the way to the door of Xuan's house.
After knocking on the old wooden door, Xuan Lele's alert voice immediately came from inside, "Who!"
"Lele, it's me."
Hearing her lover's gentle voice, Xuan Lele quickly got out of bed and opened the door. There were no street lights in the village, which relied on the natural light of the moon. Under the meager moonlight, the man was wearing a black vest, standing so simply, facing her. A smile appeared.
Xuan Lele's eyes turned red instantly.
She rushed forward and hugged him regardless of anything.
"Ming Yan..."
No one knew how scared and worried she was today that her grandma left her just like that.
Although her lover called her and sent messages to keep in touch, she was always scared to be alone.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. I brought chicken soup for you and grandma. It's still hot. Eat it quickly."
Wei Mingyan carefully patted the girl's back with one hand and coaxed her warmly, "Be good, be good, I'm here."
Xuan Lele was amused by his tone. She wiped away her tears and stood up with a tearful smile, "Why do you treat me like a child?"
"wrong."
Wei Mingyan gently held her cold hand with his left hand and looked at her tenderly under the moonlight, "I treat you like a treasure."
Xuan Lele stared at her lover, her eyes still glistening with tears, and she nodded heavily, "Yes! I know!"
She turned on the light, and under the dim light, two young people gathered around the wooden table and brought out the chicken soup.
"You eat first, I'll go feed grandma."
Wei Mingyan saw Xuan Lele take out the bowl and chopsticks, carefully picking up all the soft meat in the bowl, and knew what she was going to do. He reached out and took the bowl and chopsticks, turned around and sat at the head of the bed.
Xuan Lele looked at her lover with emotion, and sat over, calling gently: "Grandma, grandma..."
The old man on the bed woke up several times today, muttering that the grave could not be moved, and then fell asleep again. Xuan Lele called a few times, and she opened her eyes hazily. Under the light, her originally yellow face turned pale.
"Le Le, Le Le... Don't move the grave, can't move the grave..."
"Don't worry, I've told them, no one will move the grave again."
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange male voice responded gently. Grandma Xuan was much more awake than during the day. She raised her eyes slightly in confusion and met Wei Mingyan's gentle and handsome face.
"You, who are you..."
Hearing her grandmother's weak voice, Xuan Le Le quickly replied, "Grandma, this is my boyfriend, Wei Mingyan, you can just call him Mingyan."
"Yes, grandma, I'm Le Le's boyfriend, and I came to see you this time."
Putting the bowl aside, Wei Mingyan carefully helped the old lady up and prepared to feed her.
"Boyfriend..." Grandma Xuan repeated in confusion, and then her eyes lit up, "My Le Le, is she dating?"
"Yes, Le Le is very popular in our school. I worked hard to chase her and became her boyfriend."
Listening to her lover lying and praising herself without changing her face, Xuan Le Le blushed.
Grandma Xuan smiled happily, and gently placed her thin hands on Wei Mingyan's slender hands, "You and Lele are in the same school? How is she doing in school?"
Every time Xuan Lele called, she said that she was doing well, but Grandma Xuan was still worried that the child was lying to her to make herself feel at ease.
"She's doing well. Lele goes to class every morning, eats in the cafeteria at noon, and goes to evening self-study in the evening. She goes back home with her roommates. They have a good relationship. They go shopping during the holidays."
Grandma Xuan's smile grew bigger and bigger, and she kept nodding her head. She listened to the young boy who was supporting her continue to say, "Everyone in the school likes Lele. She is beautiful, has good grades, and always gets scholarships. Even when she goes to the cafeteria to get food, the cafeteria auntie gives her an extra spoonful."
"But Lele also has shortcomings. She is too thrifty and always orders cheap food. Later, when we were together, we bought vegetables and cooked by ourselves. Not only did we save money, but we also ate much better than before."
"You have to cook by yourself. Lele is too thrifty. It's also because I, an old woman, dragged her down. She can't even afford to buy a nice piece of clothing..." If Grandma Xuan didn't believe what Wei Mingyan said before, and suspected that he was saying good things, then after he said that her granddaughter was thrifty, she completely believed it.
"LeLe always lied to me that she was willing to buy things at school. If she was willing, why would she send money home every month? It's all her savings. Sometimes, seeing this child so young and unwilling to buy clothes, I wish I could die earlier..."
Grandma Xuan was too emotional today. She sobbed after saying a few words.
She smelled like an old woman. It's not that she didn't like cleanliness, but it was a special smell at an old age. Most people in the village were unwilling to get close to her. Wei Mingyan patted her hand gently, as if he didn't smell it, and comforted her, "Don't think so. LeLe cares about you. After I got together with her, she was happiest to call you. Every time she heard your voice, she was very happy and laughed very sweetly. She also said that you were her motivation for learning. Every time I heard it, I was jealous."
"Come, lean on this, I'll feed you chicken soup."
Grandma Xuan couldn't stop laughing, "Oh, why are you jealous of me, an old woman? I'll do it myself. , my hand is still strong. "
"It's okay, I'm your future grandson-in-law, what's wrong with feeding chicken soup, grandma, let me tell you about Lele's school life, she loves to go to the study room every time she doesn't have classes, when I was chasing her, she would die every time she went to the study room..."
Xuan Lele sat at her own small table, eating chicken soup mouthful by mouthful, her eyes fell on the two people sitting on the kang, looking at Grandma Xuan's smile that had never been so happy, shaking with words, and then looking at the handsome man who was patiently feeding the old man soup spoonful by spoonful under the dim light while telling her interesting stories about school. She felt warm in her heart and relieved as never before.
After the old lady finished her soup and lay down to sleep, Wei Mingyan also sat at the table and said softly, "Le Le, let's take grandma back."
"She is in poor health now, so we should take her to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. I know a doctor in E City. Their hospital is not far from our school. When the time comes, I will take grandma to the hospital, and you can visit her from time to time."
Xuan Le Le calculated the remaining money in her hand. She has saved money from live streaming during this period. She will definitely be able to survive in the short term, but in the long term...
"Don't be afraid, I have money here too, and don't always think it's bad to use my money. We have agreed to graduate and get married, so isn't mine yours? Besides, you have seen the environment in the village. Even if we don't take grandma away, do we have to leave her alone? Or do you take a leave of absence from school to accompany her?"
"It's better to take her to e-city. We'll see her every day, and we'll help her downstairs for a walk. If the old lady feels better, her health will also be better. Staying in this damn place will do no good at all."
The lover's words fell in his ears, Xuan Lele was convinced, and his hesitant expression turned into determination, "Okay, I will take grandma out of here."
No matter how bad it is, it's still not as good as here.
She didn't have the ability before, and although she doesn't have a lot of money now, the money she earns from live broadcasts every day makes Xuan Lele feel a little more settled.
"Be good, I'll call a car and take grandma away from here tomorrow. You go pack your things first and I'll contact that uncle. Someone can help."
"good!"
Now that he had made his decision, Xuan Lele immediately stood up and prepared to clean up.
She really didn't want to stay in this village for a second.
Wei Mingyan gave a few more instructions and then went out. He wandered to the door of the village chief's house and looked at the fire on the opposite mountain. The corners of his lips were slightly raised. Before he could push the door open, the door was opened from the inside first. .
The village chief came out of the house in a panic. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a young man standing under the moon. His handsome face slightly raised his eyebrows, innocent and confused, "Village Chief? What are you doing so late?"
"Qiu Wu called me and said that people in the village secretly dug his family's grave in the middle of the night. Didn't I rush over to help?"
After the village chief answered subconsciously, he remembered what he had promised during the day for his son's future. He hesitated for a second and looked at Wei Mingyan, "Mr. Wei, do you think I want to go?"
"Go, you are the village chief. If something happens in the village, of course you have to go."
Wei Mingyan smiled and said, "I'll go with you too. They're making such a big fuss and it won't end well for me."
Thinking that this young man was also scared, the village chief nodded and walked up the mountain in a panic.
You can't hear it from below, but when you reach the bottom of the mountain, you can clearly hear the woman's sharp cry, "You dug my son's grave!! You will not die!!"
The village chief's steps were a bit hurried, but Wei Mingyan, who was following her, was still taking his time. The two of them quickly reached the top of the mountain, where a small tomb was already crowded with people.
The villagers I saw during the day were holding shovels, and some were holding flashlights. There were scorched black spots on the ground that had been extinguished. It was obvious that someone had tried to set fire to the grave.
Someone was talking to Qiu Wu, "Didn't you want to dig the Xuan family's grave before? Didn't you tell us during the day that we would come over a few nights and dig it secretly for her? Anyway, those are feudal superstitions. We are now What’s wrong with digging your family’s grave!”
Qiu Wu's voice was hoarse and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Are you willing to let me dig your family's grave?!!!"
"Didn't the boss say he would move my family's grave? Qiu Wu, didn't the boss say there would be compensation? If you don't let us move the grave, do you think the money is not enough? How about our village help you get it together?"
"Who wants your money!! My son is buried here, no one of you is allowed to touch it!! No one is allowed!!"
"Then the Xuan family's grave is buried with their daughter and son-in-law. Why did you touch it? Get out of the way quickly. Isn't it good for everyone to make money?"
The villagers were talking in a flurry, and seeing someone trying to push them, Qiu Wu shouted angrily, holding the stick that was thrown by someone on the ground next to him in his hand, and said with a fierce look, "Who dares to move?" For my son’s grave, I will kill anyone today!!”
"Come here if you don't want your life!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers looked at each other in shock and did not dare to make any move.
"What's the fuss about?!"
The village chief's voice came, and Wei Mingyan followed him and said, "In this case, let's forget it. I don't want to make everyone look bad."
"I won't cover this mountain."
Of course, this money is gone
